Description

Located just 5km from Skibbereen, Willow Cottage is a traditional style of West Cork property set on just over half an acre. Extending to approx. 127 sqm (1,400 sq ft), the cottage was upgraded in 2018 with new ground floor floorboards, partial drylining, replacement of windows and electric underfloor heating in the kitchen and living room. The accommodation includes four bedrooms and one bathroom, laid out in a practical format that suits both full-time living or use as a weekend retreat. The living room features a solid fuel stove with a back boiler, while a second stove in the ground floor fourth bedroom provides flexibility for a cosy home office. Accessed via a private entrance off a minor public road, the garden is a standout feature. It is mainly laid out in lawn and includes mature trees such as apple and weeping willow, as well as newly planted cherry blossom and a small pond. Wisteria climbs across the façade of the cottage & stone arch, adding character and colour. A well-positioned terrace lies just off the kitchen, ideal for outdoor dining or relaxing while several outbuildings on the property offer good storage and workshop space. The cottage sits conveniently beside the Skibbereen to Drinagh road. Nearby attractions include the wooded trails around Shepperton Lakes and the beaches at Long Strand and The Warren. Skibbereen is a busy and well-serviced town with cafés, shops, schools and health facilities. There is a popular weekly country market and excellent access to the coastline, beaches and scenic walking routes throughout the region. Willow Cottage is a charming rural property that combines character, convenience and a tranquil setting, all within a short drive of town. Cork Airport is approximately 75 minutes' drive.
